    Always hold for wind, if your holding off the animal your prob need to close the distance or pass it up

    Seen people dial wind the wrong way and it just puts the shits up me now

    This...

    I hold for wind, and if that means I am aiming off the animal (or at its guts) I won't take the shot.

    This
    Also practice lots in the wind, you'll soon learn exactly where to hold off.
    Windy days on the gongs often teach just as much as calm days.
